Explain how this is different from any other entertainment medium lol

Just in case you want to know my opinion,
Persona 3 was not a good game. You could only control one of the three characters in your party. You could give your ai allies guidance. On of the guidance options was "heal/support". I remember during the final boss my main could easily heal everyone, so I wanted on of my ai allies to cast support, while the other attacked. The one that was suppose to cast support spells had a bad habit of casting healing spells. I had to do more ai manipulation on my allies then on the boss. It would have been very easy to allow player to control the whole party (like in Persona 4), but the developer made the game unnecessarily frustrating for a reason that is beyond me.

I can't believe FFX is up there with Xenoblade Chronicles. If you have a 360, I recommend Lost Odyssey.

XC comes out tomorrow, get your hands on that! :D

My recommendations

Persona 3
Tales of Xillia 2
FF Type Zero
Persona 3
Persona 3
Persona 3

Persona 4 Golden was the best jrpg for you in 10yrs right? So yeah, Persona 3. Persona 5 is right around the corner too.

Xenoblade Chronicles!! Also, play it with Japanes sopund and english subs. It´s the best RPG ever created. Period.

Persona 4 became my alltime favorite JRPG and I still couldn't get into 3.

P3 is deep. It made me shed manly tears.

It just didn't stuck with me is what I mean, and for an RPG I think that's ass.

Plus, while the story in Xenoblade Chronicles X has nothing to do with Xenoblade Chronicles, the battle system is directly taken from it. If you're getting X there is definitely some good that can be taken from the original.

Persona 3 got my vote too since OP said p4 was his favourite game in the last decade. P3 has an arguably better story and objectively better cutscene direction.
